To allwhom timely-concern: y y

Be it known that WILLIAM FOWLER, of @the city, county, and State of NewYork, have j invented aj new; and useful Improvel ment inFaucets forwashbasins, Sinks, &c.; i and Ldohereby gdeolareythat the following i isa full, clear, and exact description of the lo fsaid drawing being avertical section of my Mnnprovement.

jof the faucet, jaswill be hereafter fully il 5jeshown and described;whereby the faucet may be readily detached from the main pipe or tubeincase it requires repairing or a new faucet may be applied withoutdetaching the will proceed to describe it.

2 The pipe or tube B, is stationary, and has a shoulder (a) which restsupon the upper form orjsill in any a proper manneryj The 130 platform orsill :Afmayflsupport a wash-l lflbasin, sink, or otherflvessel for]receiving water under pressure, and the water passes upward within the;pipe or tube B, as shown by the red arrowsg Theupper end ofthe pipe ortube B, is provided": with a socket C, having 1 a screw;threadxlyKb)cutfin the upper part of itsinner surface in whicha valve seat, I D, issecured,said valve seat having a fianch (w' around its upper end,-whichbears upon the upper end oflthe socket 0.1 The-valve f center inwhichthe lowerend of a tube E, fits, theend ofthe tube, E, correspondingThe lower endof the tube E, is closed, but

I The nature of my iinvention consists in the peculiar construction andarrangement stationary pipe ortube from itssupports. 12 Toenableothersskilledin the art to fully understand andw oOnstruct myinvention, I j A, representsajpla orm or, sill, through whichthemainpipefor tubeB, passes.

1 an opening (c)isn1ade through its side near its lower end,:;andatcorresponding opening is made through the side of the valve seat D.

F, is a nut which works on a screw thread (e) cut on the tube E.

G, is a nozzle which is attached permanozzle G, till the opening in thetube E, coincides with the opening (bl) in the valve seat D, the waterpasses up in the tube E,and through the nozzle G, it being understoodthat the'pipe E, is connected with, and

turns with the nozzle G, and when the nozzle 1 (his turnedso that theopenings (0, d) coincide witheachother, the end of the nozzle isdirectly over the basin or sink."

ment, all leakage is prevented, as the fianch (a) of the valve seat D,may, if necessary have suitable packing interposed between it and theupper surface or end of the socket C, and this is the only place whereleakage can possibly occur. By unscrewing the nut F, the whole valve maybe detached from the main pipe or tube B, and easily re paired, ifrepairs are necessary, or a new .a The ordinary faucets in use have thenoz- It will be seen that by the above improvevalve may be insertedwithout moving or disturbing the main pipe or tube B.

zle-G,turning on the tube E, which is sta tionary, or merely acontinuation of the main pipe or tube B, and the valve is formed withina collar at the inner end of'the noz- IWhat I claim asnew and desire tosecure a by Letters Patent is The construction of the faucet as hereinshown and described; viz, having the lower end of the tube E, fittedwithin a valve seat zle which fits over the tube E. The valve 55 nentlyto the tube E, and communicates with a the interior of the tube.

of a socket, C, at the upper part of the main pipe or tube, B, andadjusting the lower end of the tube E, snugly within the valve seat, 5D, by means of the nut F; the tube E, turning Within the seat D; theseat D, and tube E, being provided with openings (0, d), which, whenmade to coincide with each allow the water to pass up through the 10nozzle.
